What good is the Nintendo Switch OLED?
After rumors of an improved Nintendo Switch had been circulating for a long time, the company has now launched the new console.
The Nintendo Switch OLED has various new features - but for owners of the old model the question arises whether these are sufficient to justify a new purchase.
New Nintendo Switch with a larger OLED display
The newly introduced console is not referred to as a pro model *, as speculated in advance. Officially, it is called simply Nintendo Switch OLED - so that it carries the greatest innovation of the console directly in the name: The new model features namely a
7-inch OLED
-
display
. This means that the screen is not only larger, it also provides a more colorful picture and stronger contrasts, while the standard version is only 6.2 inches in size and uses a less powerful LC display. Also new in the OLED model is the wide
adjustable
stand
, a
LAN
-
port
on the docking station and
improved speaker
with higher sound quality.

released on March 8th
.

Nintendo Switch OLED: who is the console worthwhile for?
What many Nintendo fans complain about, however, is that the hardware of the Nintendo Switch OLED model will
not
offer
any improvements
.
Games will not run more smoothly and connected to the TV via the docking station there will be no difference at all to the old model.
So who is it worth buying the Nintendo Switch OLED for?
The new console is particularly interesting for those who
mainly handheld
-
mode
play and wish for a better and brighter image. Therefore, it should also be appealing to owners of the Nintendo Switch Lite who would have a real upgrade with it. And if you don't own a Nintendo Switch yet, you will probably also consider the OLED model. If you already have a normal Nintendo Switch, you will have to think twice about whether the upgrade is worthwhile. The fact that sooner or later a
more powerful Nintendo Switch
Pro
will appear is also not off the table.
